Welcome to the seventh installment of our series on Lutheran women in Mexico. This week we're going to talk about Señora Tere, one of the first members of the congregation Pan de Vida (Bread of Life) in Torreón.
Señora Tere first came to the congregation when it was opening as a mission in 2005. At that time, English classes were being offered inside the church. She learned about the English program and she also started talking to the pastor (who was Mike at the time). She became confirmed with the first group of members of the church.
Tere regularly comes to church with her family. Her daughter Ivonne often plays the piano for church. Her daughter Fabiola helps out with children's activities. And Tere is very involved herself. She has made most of the paraments used in the church since it first began in 2005.
Tere says that her current responsibilities include setting up for the Lord's Supper and taking care of the paraments. She also helps out with children's classes.
When I asked Tere about her favorite part of the church, she said, "I just feel good there. It's so comfortable. Best of all, of course, is that I know God is always with us and is the reason I'm going to heaven."
A beautiful testimony from a beautiful member. Thanks Señora Tere for all of your work, and may God continue to use you in his church in the years to come.
